I don&#39;t care about his ped usage, as long as he doesn&#39;t do it in our clubhouse. He has been a capable performer, and better than a lot of the Astros outfield last year. Steroids don&#39;t turn someone into a baseball god. In fact, their it&#39;s no scientific evidence that steroids increase hand eye coordination or bat speed, and it is scientifically proven than baseball players start hitting their performance peak around age 27. Now, cheating is wrong, to be sure, but attributing his performance solely to peds is baseless and asinine. I don&#39;t honestly think he is a .900 OPS player, but I don&#39;t think an .800 OPS is out off the question. And an .800 OPS from center field is certainly valuable.<br /><br />Now, I doubt the Astros go out and sign him. The front office has long term goals, and no reason to spend money on players that don&#39;t contribute to that goal.

That ought to be a giant screaming clue to all potential buyers.

Also, signing Melky wouldn&#39;t have anything to do with Schafer- I doubt anyone sees him as a legit CF anymore, and you certainly need one in MMP.Reubenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538544465592883874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430771998906051923.post-42365385762700486542012-10-25T00:45:45.173-05:002012-10-25T00:45:45.173-05:00Stunned that &quot;yes&quot; is the leading vote. ...Stunned that &quot;yes&quot; is the leading vote.
